PL1000A: Industrial-Strength Outdoor Optical Receiver
A deployment-ready FTTB solution featuring a high-sensitivity GaAs amplifier and precision AGC for consistent RF output.
The PL1000A is specifically engineered for FTTB receiving terminals in modern CATV networks. Unlike standard nodes, it utilizes a die-casting aluminum housing that provides superior heat dissipation and waterproof shielding (IP65 rated), ensuring non-stop reliability in extreme outdoor temperatures ranging from -40°C to +60°C.
Internally, the receiver leverages high-quality SMD circuit design and a high-transformation ratio photo-detector. This combination minimizes non-linear distortion while maintaining a high output level (≥112dBμV), making it a performance-driven choice for large-scale coaxial distribution.
- Wide AGC Range: Maintains a stable output level between -7 and +2dBm input power, compensating for fiber link fluctuations.
- Full Frequency Support: Operates across 47~1002MHz, fully compatible with high-definition digital video and data services.
- Flexible Configuration: Supports plug-in ATT and EQ (adjustable or fixed) for precise RF signal balancing at the node.
- Robust Powering: Available in both AC110~245V or local AC35~90V feeding options for versatile field deployment.
Technical FAQ: Outdoor Optical Receiver & FTTB
Q1: Why is the AGC function critical for an outdoor optical receiver?
A: Our outdoor optical receiver features an integrated AGC (Automatic Gain Control) circuit. When the fiber input power varies between -7 and +2dBm, the AGC ensures the RF output level remains constant, preventing signal tiling or pixelation for the end subscribers.
Q2: Is the PL1000A housing durable enough for harsh climates?
A: Absolutely. As a telecom-standard FTTB node, it uses a heavy-duty die-casting aluminum housing. This provides excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and weatherproofing, essential for mission-critical outdoor installations.
Q3: Can the RF output be split or tapped at the receiver?
A: Yes. The PL1000A is designed with a internal plug-in splitter or tap position. This field-proven flexibility allows technicians to distribute the signal to two separate trunk lines directly from the receiver without external components.
Q4: What wavelengths are compatible with this receiver?
A: This precision-engineered node is compatible with the full wide-band range from 1100nm to 1600nm. It is commonly used with 1310nm direct-modulated or 1550nm externally-modulated transmitters in HFC and FTTB networks.
